    SSCT #200- Momentum, Not Motivation, For Endurance Performance

    In Episode 200 of SSCT we jump into Video Podcasting as we explore why momentum is easier and more sustainable than motivation for endurance training and strength work. Keeping consistency through off periods and deloads is key as fitness and body adaptations take time with a consistent strength training program: Tendon changes typically starting in 8 to 12 weeks Bone starting in 12 to 24 weeks I share some real coaching examples, including a rider preparing for the Gran Fondo World Championship and a personal appendectomy recovery that still allowed major lifting gains months later through maintained momentum.

    Ep 199- Strength Training Non-Responders?

    Is there such a thing as a "Non-Responder" to strength training for cycling? In short, YES! BUT.... 95% of people aren't non-responders, they just get a few important things wrong in how they think of and approach strength training for their body and needs. This episode gives you some points to ponder if you've been struggling to see turnover from your strength training into your riding or triathlon.

    Ep 197 Your Lifting is Killing Your Riding

    Are you feeling sore, tired, and beat up after your strength sessions? Do you feel like you "should be seeing some on bike gains already" from your strength training? If you're following "common advice" given on social media and by many cycling & triathlon coaches, you're probably falling to the common trap of "lifting heavy stuff".... but doing it in a way that is killing your riding. In this short episode we discuss what I've seen become popular, and how you can easily and quickly turn the tides to help you get stronger and faster... all with less effort (and pain) in your strength training!

    Ep 196 99% Truth is Still 100% Lie

    After 30 years in the weightroom, with 25 being as a professional, I can honestly say there are many days that I do not feel like I know what I'm doing. Especially with the number of people speaking in absolutes and "basing on research/ science". So if you feel the same way too, perhaps you'll also take solace in what my teachers teacher says: 99% truth is still 100% Lie. This episode I share a little about a recent conversation I had with another coach I've known and hang out with for the last few years. I hope it's useful for ya.
